You really need to get to that 0.2 inch plus territory to make pics worthwhile. As someone that grew up in the area, I second what @olafminesawsaid. I’d also recommend considering Doughton Park, the Stone Mtn area or Ennice. All do really well in these CAD escarpment events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Fancy Gap is my best bet for now. I always am weary because these ZR events tend to end sooner than forecast a lot of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 It looks like Blacksburg has cut back on ice amounts a bit so I may stay put. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wished I could stay up a couple more hours as I think we get a few flakes and some sleet before WAA takes over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeNormanStormin Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Warmed up from 36 to 37 here at Lake Norman last hour. Bummer. Thought maybe we could sneak closer to freezing mark before the warm nose crept in to our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 From GSP:As of 1040 PM EST Friday: Temps were running a few degrees warmerthan forecast thanks to thick cloud cover streaming across theforecast area. Populated in the latest OBS to get the hourly tempsback on track. Seeing some light returns tracking across NE GA, thewestern SC Upstate and the southern NC mountains this evening. Ifany of this activity is managing to reach the ground, it`s doing soin the form of drizzle. Cloud cover will continue to thicken throughthe next hour or so, limiting radiational cooling and leading tolows around 3-6 degrees above climo. However, temps are stillexpected to drop near or below freezing mainly north of I-85 latertonight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Drove from Hickory to Knoxville this morning, leaving Hickory around 10 AM. Never got below freezing in Hickory - a total nothing-burger. Was 35 when I left. Temp fell slowly as I drove west. Ice began to show in the treetops once I got west of Marion. Coldest temp observed was 33, right at the top of Old Fort Mountain. Trees were all glazed over all the way up the mountain. It was quite beautiful. By the time I got to the Swannanoa exit about 7 miles away, the temp had risen to 40 and the sun was peeking through. Just an amazing demonstration of cold-air damming in action and how different the weather conditions can be on either side of the Ridgecrest pass at the top of Old Fort Mountain. High temp on my drive was right around the NC state line where it got above 50! By the time I reached Knoxville, it was drizzly and back down to low 40s again. Weather is truly interesting as it changes due to geography, and sometimes it’s the opposite of what you would expect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
